Tessa, along with Samantha and Shasili, got out of the car...

As they walked past the café, Tessa greeted Mr. Poincaré and then saw Daria and Yuliy basking in the sun.

She had met Daria before, but now that there was another copy of her, it had her a bit worried.

Looking at their chests, robust with technology and hard work, Tessa glanced down at her own chest and then curiously looked at Mr. Poincaré, saying, "What's going on here?"

Mr. Poincaré, wanting Mountain Eagle to relax a bit, smiled mischievously and said, "They are the boss's new employees; you will see them often from now on."

Seeing the fiery look in Tessa's eyes, Mr. Poincaré pointed to the mountaintop and said with a smile, "The boss is up there. Due to his constant travel over the past months, his old leg injury has recurred. There's a risk he might end up disabled.

You have to convince him that work is endless, but health is more important!"

Tessa paused, incredulous, and said, "I knew he had rib injuries, but what's with his leg?"

Mr. Poincaré surprisedly said, "You don't know?

He had major surgery on his leg. Originally, he only needed to rest for more than half a year after the surgery, but he got involved in the Bangkok disturbances caused by Basong before he could complete his rehab, and he hasn't stopped since..."

Initially wanting to trouble Mountain Eagle because of the Daria sisters, Tessa covered her face after listening, shocked, "He never told me..."

Mr. Poincaré slightly nodded and said, "Men are like that; the more responsible they are, the more they tend to behave this way!"

Tears welled up in Tessa's eyes as she said, "He didn't want me to come here because he worries that I'd see him hurt, right?"

Mr. Poincaré's old face flashed a strange expression, then he heavily nodded and said, "It can't be helped, men are like that...

Go see him; let him rest properly!"

......

Mountain Eagle actually felt quite good himself; with progressing rehab, the soreness in his right leg was gradually disappearing.

Swimming daily kept his physical condition superb, and the continuous aerobic exercises even improved his cardiopulmonary function somewhat.

It takes 15 days for most people to form a habit, but through self-discipline, Mountain Eagle found his rhythm in only three days, even finding joy in it.

Mountain Eagle didn't realize how strong his need to 'be needed' was!

Perhaps because of work, or as a father, he needed to work, needed to feel 'needed'—that gave him a tremendous sense of worth.

He had moved beyond basic survival needs; to gain satisfaction, he had to seek out other means.

And as for what mattered most to him, since he couldn't get it at the moment, he had to seek compensation in other ways.

Thus, he just couldn't sit idle!

When Mountain Eagle saw Tessa, he was just about to greet her when she burst into tears holding him...

Looking at the T-shirt smeared with Tessa's eyeliner and eyeshadow, Mountain Eagle patted her back and nodded to Samantha and Shasili who had come up...

A few minutes later, with Tessa showing no signs of stopping, Mountain Eagle said helplessly, "What are you doing?"

Tessa looked up at Mountain Eagle with tearful eyes and sobbed, "Why didn't you tell me?"

Mountain Eagle said somewhat puzzledly, "Tell you what?"

Tessa sniffed and said with grievance, "Why didn't you tell me about your leg injury? Mr. Poincaré just said you might end up disabled, wah..."

Mountain Eagle paused, then shook his head, "It's not that serious. The doctor said that only in the worst case, some irreparable damage might occur.

I'm doing well now, rigorously maintaining my rehab exercises; not only is my body in great condition, but also my mental state."

Saying so, and seeing Tessa's skeptical look, he dropped his crutches and said with a smile, "How about I do a little jump for you?

Even injured, a top expert like me is much stronger than normal people."

Tessa quickly held Mountain Eagle back, wiping her tears, and said, "Don't move, from today onwards you need to rest properly, and I'm responsible for watching over you."

Mountain Eagle opened his mouth and said in resignation, "Ah? Mainly I'm just moving my mouth and not my hands, I still need to do work..."

Tessa was not the type of woman who believed everything she heard; she understood moderation...

She didn't oppose Mountain Eagle's point, instead, she actively supported his arm, saying, "It's not necessary to finish work today; this is Thailand, you have to follow Thai customs."

She winked at Samantha while saying this, and then added, "You see, Samantha isn't worried, so you shouldn't either."

Samantha, grasping the situation, said, "Exactly, the designer I hired won't be in Kamui for a few more days; we can discuss the resort plans then."

Samantha patted her head, adding, "Taigore asked me to send over the things you wanted; they are still waiting downstairs, I'll notify them to move everything up."

On this note, Mountain Eagle thought of complaining, as what was promised in a week took ten days to be sorted...

Looking at Tessa, seemingly a permanent attachment now, Mountain Eagle sighed, "Alright, I'll have my guy help out; there are gifts in there for them."
